The above nutrients were estimated on the basis of actual analysis and 

 the appUcation of average digestion coefficients. The 30 pounds of pump- 

 kins fed contained 1 pound more digestible nutrients than 5 pounds of 

 hay. This was due to the fact that the pumpkins had rather less water 

 than was expected, and that they contained such a high percentage of 

 digestible matter. On the basis of digestible matter, 1 pound of hay is 

 equivalent to some 4| pounds of pumpkins.
